Course Details
Traditionally we have categorised fitness exercises in terms of the type of fitness that they impact for example cardiovascular, strength etc.
However it's becoming increasingly evident that MOVEMENT is MEDICINE. We can also look at exercise's in terms of the functional significance, and physical and neurobiological pathways and design.
This session will examine different types of exercises:
- Still static exercises
- Learned behaviour movements
- Free movement patterns
We will examine the biological significance, the functional use, and the potential impacts to each type of exercise. We will also talk about how to select different types of exercises for your dogs specific needs, as well as give you a bunch of examples of each type of exercise.
Let's be a little more critical about WHY we select exercises to meet your dogs specific needs, and help you smash your team goals!
